Netbackup Vault configration
Hi,
We are using Symantic netbackup6.5.6 in ourr envirement for backing up windows and UNIX machines.
I am newto netbackup.I want to know step by step configuration of vault.
Quick responce would be appreciated.
Thanks
Apologies, but v6.5.6 is so out of date - that maybe you might have a hard time finding anyone who is actually able to help.
Vault is complex, and works really well when configured correctly. It's too complex to descrbe in a short posting on here.
Do you not have the manuals folder on your master/media server with pdf files in it?
If not, have you not searched for the v6.5 documentation/manuals on-line?
Again, apologies that this is not the answer you are looking for. How can I put this... NetBackup is BIG. It takes time to learn. The manuals really are the best place to start.
I agree with SDO - the vault manual gives the steps.
Work through he steps in the manual, it is not too difficult to work out a basic config.
It is easiest if ...
Create a test policy that writes to a test volume pool (eg a vol pool called vault)
Configure vault to only select images from the test policy - leave all other 'image selection criteria alone
Configure vault to select images between 2 days ago and 0 (0 = now)
Skip duplication
Configure vault to only eject tapes in vol pool 'vault'
Run a test backup of the new policy (only has to backup a single file)
When you run the vault (manyually) it should eject the tape (no need to remove from library, just leave in CAP/ MAP)
Expire the tape manually
Run the vault profile again (tells vault the tape is expired and can come back)
Run robot inventory
That (above) is about the most basic vault you can create - once you hve that working, you can try duplication, running a catalog from vault, creating reports etc ...
